And when it does, we want to give you the best support you'll ever get from an on-line store.

But what if they cannot find a solution? If such a rare event should occur, we'll give you your money back. Simple as that. If you buy a game on GOG.com and find that it doesn't work properly on your system, and our support cannot fix the problem, you get a full refund. It's a worldwide guarantee, and you have whole 30 days after the purchase date, to contact us about the refund.

There's even more! If you bought a game by mistake, or simply changed your mind about a purchase, you can get a full refund within 14 days, as long as the game wasn't downloaded. If in any doubt about our refund policies, please consult our FAQ.

We hope our Worldwide Money Back Guarantee will make you feel secure while you expand your DRM-free catalog on GOG.com. Having that said, we're confident that our titles won't give you any trouble in 99.9% cases!

NOTICE:
Even though this policy is introduced today, its effect goes back 30 days. If you bought a game within the last 30 days and have any of the trouble described here, contact us! We have you covered.

Awesome new policy, not that I'll need to make use of it. :P

TB's vid on it is very positive, too. It's a good time to be a GOGer!
I try to not buy games I do not want. Good to know though.
GOG never ceases to amaze me. Thumbs up on your fair customer policies, you rock!
Thumbs up! Very customer focused.

asb: Thanks, though that term does not seem to offer a "refund" as stated in the news post, but rather an offer of an exchange. Can someone please clarify?
Refunds are also an option if the game hasn't been downloaded, and no more than 14 days have passed since the purchase. This is described in the "Final sale" section, though I can see how the Preorders section seems confusing. We'll see if we can clarify this when we next edit the Terms of Use.
Thank you! You guys just added another reason to like this website!
What PLANET are you guys from?

First, you're DRM free. Then you go and own the misprint in the Free Torchlight email. Now this?

You're making me seriously struggle against my own "No Fanboying" policy. Knock it off!
This is a policy that is long overdue.

I would really like a refund for Gorky 17 that I bought years ago and realized it did not work on newer Nvidia cards.

I made This Thread, asked for updates what gog was doing, wrote to support, and nothing.

I even wrote gog should have given a code for a free game to people who bought the game, but nothing.

This was the game that made me trust gog a lot less than I once did.

I still would like a refund or a code for a free game.

Good publicity for a very good consumer-friendly policy.
This is why I like buying games from GoG. Service in the digital age is a precious and rare object...

Well done gang.

I always like it when he takes swipes at Steam every now and then haha.
Well done GoG. Not that you need to one-up Valve, but that's what this does.
This "guarantee" sounds good but . . . it remains to be seen if they will in fact put their money where their mouth is.

I have never, ever, been able to run The Witcher (1) on my Mac. GOG support help has been well . . . let's just say they have been "unhelpful."

This is the latest reply I received from GOG support on what to do for trying to get Witcher to run on my Mac (in quotes):

"Hello

Please clarify, you did not use the "Contact us" button found here:
[*link to.thewitcher.com here]
and you did not write to the official, developer support for the game, is that correct?

Please contact them, as they are better suited to help in this case and get back to me if they are unable to help you."

Then my reply, in quotes:

"1. I did follow the link--and it clearly says that is technical help for PC (not Mac), and
1a. All of the suggestions found at that page clearly are for Windows PC machines, NOT Mac.

2. I already have read thru every single page of the Mac forum section (at Witcher.com) and could not anything that specifically addresses my problem and how to solve it.

3. I have even gone so far as to attempt to rebuild the winewrapper (the Wine shell that contains Witcher, to allow the game to interact with a Mac) as outlined in this detailed post--I did this entire procedure, twice and it did not help. [*link to a reddit.com link here]

4. The GOG refund policy says if the GOG.com (NOT Witcher.com) cannot help me to run the game, then I can receive a refund from GOG--which is what I am requesting."

*The system would not allow me to post the actual links, but I think you can get the picture.

It was actually kinda fun learning how to rebuild the Wineskin engine inside the GOG.com supplied Witcher app, though my attempts failed.

I chatted with the Support team; it seems that you haven't given them some files that they need to diagnose your problem. I'm not in Support and I'm not gonna copy paste conversations here, but I suggest you get back in touch with Piotr and see if he can get this problem solved for you.
